White Rabbits Discuss Blog Love + Collaborating With Beirut

White Rabbits singer, Greg Roberts spills the beans to NME: "We have two new songs that we're recording that we've been playing... We're really excited about them. One is called 'Cotillion Blues' and the other one has yet to be named. It sounds like a New Orleans band or something. Our friend (Jon Natchez) who plays in Beirut came in and played some horns on it. The other one is our newest song and we're really excited about it. And we're doing a Randy Newman cover 'Beehive State'".

Regarding the group's recent buzzworthy status, Greg proclaims: "The reception over all hasn't been out of control which is kind of good... I feel like we're doing things the right way. It feels more like a genuine response than a sensationalised kind of hype. It's always more rewarding for a band to feel like you're earning your keep rather than just becoming overnight stars, I don't think any of us would be comfortable doing that... If we ever do achieve any kind of acclaim of that level I'll feel like we went about it the right way. We will see if that happens some day."

Check out some of my photos from the band's superb Siren performance last Saturday, here. Keep up on all things White Rabbits over at the band's MySpace page, via this link.
